Chapter 633: Chapter 481: The Sneak-Attacking Monster (Two in One)_2
Finally, under siege by dozens of monsters, Hader and his team could hold on no longer.
They could only retreat into the home of one of the residents, using the narrow door frame and a multitude of furniture to block the monsters outside.
âDamn it, there are just too many of them, we simply canât hold them off! Thermal imaging canât detect these monsters either, could they all be zombies?â
Hader clenched his automatic rifle tightly, his gaze focused toward the direction of the door, his eyes filled with fear and hatred.
In just this short span of ten minutes, of the nine members of his Fifth Squad, five had already died, leaving only four people remaining in the room.
âSzzzzâŠâ
A sudden sound of static crackled in their ears.
âHader, Iâve finally reached you! How are things on your end?â
The speaker was Jonathan, a close partner of Lune, the director of the Hurricane Bureau.
âJonathan! Thank God! Communications are finally back! Weâre surrounded by monsters, now holed up in a residentâs home on the sixth floor, the number of these monsters is overwhelming, weâve taken serious casualties, request for backup!â
On the other end of the communicator, Jonathan immediately replied:
âHader, hold on, weâre dispatching members from other squads to the scene. It will take approximately ten minutes.â
âWhat about the Fourth Squad? Didnât they breach from downstairs?â
There was a pause on the phone, and then:
âIâm sorry, Hader, the people from the Fourth Squad⊠theyâve been completely wiped outâŠâ
âWhat!!â
Hader was taken aback.
Jonathan continued:
âHader, these monsters are more dangerous than we imagined. They have very high intelligence, swift movements, and strong bodies.â
âFurthermore, when they approach, they create electronic interference, and in such confined spaces, the destruction they cause far exceeds our expectations.â
âThe Fourth Squad, like you, lost contact after communications broke down, and our life detection gear has also shown the worst outcomeâŠâ
âHader, please be careful! Because of the electronic interference, helicopters canât reach your position for now. I have already dispatched the first and second squads to come to your rescue, you must hold on!â
ââŠâ
A moment later, the communication was cut off.
Hader stared blankly at the communicator in his hand, his heart filled with despair.
âCaptain, how did it go!â
A surviving teammate came over to inquire about the situation.
Hader looked at the hopeful eyes of the other party and couldnât help but lower his head, shaking it painfully.
The expressions of the teammates solidified, then gradually became resolute.
âCaptain, I have my last magazine and a hand grenade left, when it comes down to it, weâll fight them to the end!â
âMe too! I have five more bullets, and at the end, Iâll save one for myself!â
âCaptain, I had a feeling this day would come, but I believe this is all part of the Lordâs plan, He will surely guide us!â
The three members on the scene declared their positions one after another, igniting a fighting spirit in their eyes once again.
âAlright! Iâm glad to fight alongside you all, those monsters are about to come, letâs show them what weâre made of!â
Hader spoke up as well.
However, at that moment, a noise suddenly came from a room door nearby.
âWhoâs there!â
The men instantly became alert, directing their gaze toward a door not far away.
Beelu looked dumbfounded at a box he had accidentally knocked over at his feet, realizing he had been discovered by the people outside.
He was feeling incredibly irritated now; was it such a big deal that he climbed onto the bed to get a weapon, causing an unintended noise?
Although he felt full of strength all over, according to his plan, he decided to keep lying low.
After all, he was just a homebody who had never seen blood or had any combat experience.
Even with strength far exceeding that of an ordinary person, he still lacked the confidence to fight those monsters.
The monster issue, thatâs for the police and the military to handle, what does it have to do with him, an ordinary little civilian?
So, he planned to hide out here for a while.
If luck was on his side, he might just be able to win by doing nothing.
There was no need to confront those terrifying monsters at all.
But Beelu still didnât feel safe and thought he should have a weapon or something. Subconsciously, his gaze drifted to the Tang Blade hanging above his bed.
Now that he thought about it, that blade belonged to that kid Aaron.
He had visited his house once and found the blade cool, so he casually borrowed it to play around for a few days.
It wasnât long before Aaron left to go âdemon hunting,â and the blade was then forgotten at his place.
Since then, Beelu had developed a liking for Huaxia Martial Arts and would imitate the movements from videos, practicing a few swings now and then.
As a result, he had wrecked quite a bit of furniture, causing a fair amount of financial loss.
What he hadnât expected was that when he took down the Long Knife, he accidentally knocked over a suitcase, causing a bit of noise and revealing his presence to the people outside.
âDamn it, why did they have to notice me? Wouldnât it be nice if I could just keep cowering hereâŠâ
Beelu cursed inwardly a couple of times but still decided to go out the door.
There was no choice, even if he didnât open the door, he believed they would bust in anyway.
A flimsy wooden door was no match for those guys.
âDonât panic, itâs me! Iâm human, the owner of this house!â
Beelu immediately called out to the outside.
âBe careful, Iâm coming out, donât shoot!â
As a Black man living in America, he knew exactly what to do in such situations.
Like with those guys outside, you couldnât at this critical moment do anything to be misunderstood, or getting shot wouldnât leave you with a story to tell.
Like that, Beelu cautiously approached the door, slowly turned the doorknob, and opened it with an extremely gentle motion.
Finally, the two sides separated by the door faced each other.
Hader and his men breathed a small sigh of relief when they heard that the person inside could respond.
However, given the current environment, they were still vigilant, not daring to let their guard down.
When Beelu had completely opened the door, they finally relaxed, it really was a human.
And seemingly a harmless homebody.
They didnât know Beeluâs identity.
After all, that was the responsibility of the intelligence division.
Hader, as a combatant, hadnât met the man himself nor seen his photograph.
âHold on, whatâs that youâre holding in your hand?â
Just as Beelu was about to step into the living room, a team member suddenly focused on the Long Knife in his hand.
âUh, this is the weapon Iâm using for self-defense, officer, you saw it too, right? Thereâs a whole bunch of monsters outsideâŠâ
Beelu began to explain his intentions while subconsciously surveying the surroundings.
The living room was now in complete disarray, with a lot of furniture moved to the entrance to block the door.
There was even a human corpse lying on the floor.
Such a sight immediately made him tense.
After all, he was just an ordinary homebody.
No matter how fierce he killed in games, he was always just a civilian who had never seen real bloodshed in reality.
Beelu was still wholly unaware of the Strength contained within his body, and he still looked very timid and fearful.
Seeing his behavior and looking at the knife in his hand, the Hurricane Team member couldnât help but shake his head slightly.
Although he showed no change in expression, there was a hint of disdain in his heart.
Cold Weapon?
Are you kidding? All of us with such sophisticated gear went down, whatâs the use of that knife youâre holding?
